Veterans Memorial Stadium
Location: Saginaw, MIHartsuff Street between 13th & 15th Streets.
Capacity: 6,500 (1950), 3,000 (1951)
The grandstand was unroofed, leading to fan complaints. Drainage was poor, and rocks in the outfield turned playing the outfield into an adventure. The extant ballpark shares the plot with WKCQ & WSAM radio stations.
Used by: Saginaw Bears, Saginaw Jacks
